DrugFree Idaho, Inc., a not for-profit organization, will expand its long-standing partnership with Boise State University's Small Business Development Center to now include the Center forHealth Policy. Utilizing the resources of this collaboration the existing workplace program of DrugFree Idaho, Inc., will be modified to make it age appropriate for young adults, ages 16-24, and evaluated to determine its effectiveness in reducing abuse of substances among Idaho's young adult workforce. The overall purposes of the drug-free workplace program of DrugFree Idaho, Inc., are to enhance the health and safety of employees and to reduce the negative impacts of substance use/abuse on employers. It is comprised of five primary components. They include: 1) workplace policy development, 2) mining of supervisory personnel to identify and intervene in cases of suspected substance use/abuse among employees, 3) employee education about drugs and the employer's policy, 4) an employee assistance program, and 5) drug testing. The existing program will be modified to better meet the needs and enhance its effectiveness with young adult employees by incorporating a peer educator, tailoring the trainings to appeal to younger workers, involving peers and family members in employee assistance counseling and expanding the drug test panel to include drugs of choice among the younger population. The evaluation of the program will use a pretest-posttest control group design with delayed implementation in the control group. The unit of assignment to intervention and control groups will be the employer. Data will be collected from employers as a baseline and continuing annually. Data will also be collected from various program participants for each of the training and education components, as well as from employees with positive drug tests that commit to a return-to-duty plan.
